we puppeteers are grown up people and we 
play with dolls......

This is an interesting thought....and perhaps the way society will accept
dollplaying. My 16 year old fights the stereotype that as a teenager she
should not be interested in playing with her Amer. Girl dolls. She is a
doll enthusiast......has been from day one. However, society tends to look
down on those things as childish things.....yet, unless we become like a
child....found in many quotations including biblical ones. Why does society
force us to grow up into more acceptable roles?

"The great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do."
-Walter Bagehot

"One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the
choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape
ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make
are ultimately our own responsibility."-----Eleanor Roosevelt

"Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are
dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do
it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many
tomorrows.
